The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are manufactured to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at The Soggy Doggy in Kent. Stop in or give us a call at (253) 639-6700 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
